Josuke Higashikata

Masculine

15-6 years

180 cm

Purple (manga) blue (anime)

Josuke is a tall young man of average build. He wears a small earring in each ear. The most important quality to him is his well-maintained pompadour haircut; styled after an unknown man who saved his life when he was a child. His pompadour has a tendency to become spiky with his mood, such as when he is irritated or angry.

He wears a modified dark Japanese gakuran school uniform. His jacket is tight to his body, extending to mid-thigh, accompanied by a pair of wide-legged pants. He keeps his jacket unbuttoned and pushed aside at the sides, revealing a light (yellow in the anime) undershirt with a short zipper on each side of his chest.

He sports gold metallic emblems on the left and right of his chest. On the left of his uniform collar is a modified anchor, and to the right is a row of two small hearts. Resting his open jacket against his chest on the right is a peace symbol (☮), and on the left is a heart (occasionally enclosing a palm, as on Jotaro's hat). He wears a gold band on both wrists, above his sleeves (under more elaborate pieces in some illustrations). As for footwear, he wears a pair of original Mr. JUNKO socks and black Bally shoes worth ¥25,000.

Josuke is an experienced, confident and brave teenager (even if it doesn't seem that way at first glance). Friendly and loyal, his cordial personality helps him make friends throughout the story.

Josuke's main trait is his overall kindness, reflected in his Stand Crazy Diamond, which repairs objects and regenerates organic matter. When an unknown pedestrian helped save him out of sheer genuine kindness, Josuke unconsciously reflected that kindness back onto himself. Even after the revelation that he is Joseph's son, he thought first and foremost of the inconvenience this would have caused the Joestars and ignored any claims of an inheritance, wanting to reassure his biological father that he was well off financially as he was. Kind-hearted by nature, he is not as prone to violence as other JoJos and can even calmly tolerate bullying by upperclassmen or Shigechi's selfishness. He is loyal to his friends and loved ones; risking his life after Koichi was injured by the Keicho Arc and carrying Okuyasu's body while he was seemingly dead during the first part of his battle against Yoshikage Kira and Killer Queen. When his grandfather died, Josuke took it upon himself to become the protector of Morioh. Upon meeting someone under not particularly antagonistic circumstances, he will generally be polite and friendly.

Josuke's Stand, Crazy Diamond, can restore objects (and organisms) to a previous state in their history. It is perfect for repairing damage and healing injuries (similar to Gold Experience).

Intelligence: Josuke is extremely quick to take initiative in almost any circumstance, as he is well aware of the immediate surroundings as well as his own capabilities. He is proficient in utilizing everything at his disposal to deal with the problems at hand, and is also shown to be able to plan several steps ahead by reading the adversary's behavior and habits. He is very confident in his abilities to the point of stating that there is nothing that Crazy Diamond (indirectly referring to himself) cannot fix, and expresses mild disappointment after finding out what he thought would have been such a problem. As a result of his intellect, he can be very cunning; manipulating, tricking, and deceiving others from time to time in order to achieve certain selfish goals.

Physical Aptitude: Josuke possesses great athletic ability. Having once successfully chased a moving bus over long distances on foot, and can effortlessly handle a heavy motorcycle being his first time riding one, while achieving many otherwise professional feats during a high-speed chase in attempts to avoid direct contact with the pursuing enemy. The most well-known display of Josuke's physical endurance is shown when he withstands several explosions generated by Yoshikage Kira's Stand Killer Queen, suffering heavy injuries and blood loss, but remaining conscious enough to think of countermeasures and tactics.

When he is nervous he bites his lower lip, he is a video game lover
